  Some notes on pandoc options we're setting here, as
  a lot of it can break if you're on an older version
  of pandoc (or may become obsolete in a future version.
  We're using 2.8 here. Most linux distros
  provide 1.x.

  -f gfm (Github-flavored Markdown) is to keep pandoc 
  from crashing by using all available memory on cloud 
  servers. More investigation should be done to see if 
  there's a better parsing option with more features 
  and still doesn't eat up all the memory. +smart gives
  us emdashes and smartquotes.

  --metadata-file specifies the yaml metadata file. pandoc 
  used your yaml as long as the file was compiled, but 
  this no longer works in 2.8.

  --top-level-division is also needed in 2.8, older 
  versions would interpret # in markdown as a chapter 
  division, but no longer.
